The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria’s South-West zone commends voters in Ekiti State for re-electing Governor Biodun Oyebanji for a second term. In statements reported by Nigerian Eye and echoed by The Punch, the party attributes the election outcome to what it describes as quality leadership and democratic progress, portraying Oyebanji’s return to office as an endorsement of both the governor and President Bola Tinubu. The APC also highlights the scale of voter support, citing claims of a massive turnout and alleging that about 90% of votes cast across Ekiti’s 16 local government areas went to the APC candidate. The party states that Oyebanji becomes the first sitting governor to secure re-election in Ekiti State, after winning the Saturday poll against candidates from roughly 13 other political parties. APC officials say they will not take the renewed mandate for granted, urging the governor and elected officials to intensify efforts to deliver services and innovation. The APC also expresses confidence about the upcoming Osun governorship election, and urges South-West stakeholders to return to the region’s development ideals associated with figures such as Obafemi Awolowo.
